Video Spotlight: @MollyBrazy tones down the theatrics in “Ion Like You” video

If you don’t know by now that Molly Brazy has haters, you’re under a rock. She addresses the phenomenon through her music often, always coming up with creative ways to hone in the fact that you shouldn’t fuck around with her. In her new video for “Ion Like You,” instead of angrily relaying the fact, she switches things up. Amidst the bouncy production that’s as skeletal as it is energetic, Molly calmly raps to the peasants. It’s refreshing, original, and, surprisingly, sexy.

There’s an accompanying visual that reinforces the fact that Molly’s past the theatrics, she’s sternly telling off the haters without any excessive force. It’s better this way; they understand the message, and, more importantly, casual listeners don’t feel put off. But on this outing, Molly feels more mature and her body language shows it. If you carefully watch the background, you can see rising star YBN Nahmir and posse vibing to the smooth release. Could there be a collaboration coming between the two? We’ll have to wait and see.

Cookie Money gets reflective on “Came Up”

The “Started from the bottom” narrative of hip-hop will never get old. The genre, founded as a response to disco music but eventually would become a culture for the downtrodden, embraces the story because so many of us come from similar upbringings. Oakland, CA’s Cookie Money is someone that embodies this narrative, coming from the bottom and he’s rapidly headed towards success. On his new single “Came Up” he looks back at his journey and his doubters. Now, he can do doughnuts in expensive cars because he can afford to. His money’s good, he’s happy, and he’s coming up. What more could one ask for?

Stunna Girl is a sexy, dangerous femme fatale in “On The Record”

The first thing that you’ll notice about Sacramento’s Stunna Girl is that she’s high class like Saweetie, but violent like Cuban Doll. She’s an interesting character and her music incorporates these extremes smartly, enough to make her particular glitzy brand of trap music have more substance than one would initially expect. Her new single “On The Record” is a certified smash, the visual helping to make her sex appeal more easily understood by the general public. Both the song and the video are great extensions of her personality and we can’t wait to see more of her.

If you watch SandMan’s “On The Scale,” don’t watch it at work

Sandman traveled to a strip club and filmed “On The Scale,” a hard-hitting new track from the Detroit native. The song itself is a captivating listen, his suprisingly calm delivery being at odds with the visual aesthetic on display. And that aesthetic consists of booty, lots of booty. So much, in fact, that you may not see the same set of glutes twice. But the song is clearly built for strip club play, so it’s great that the visual reinforces that focus.
